The Villain’S Daughter-In-Law Is Inherently Powerful [EN]: Chapter 95

Could there be another prince in the world who acts this cute?

‘I want to hug him. What should I do?’

He looked like a baby lamb that was only a few days old. My heart was pounding, and my fingers were twitching.

I was overwhelmed with the urge to ruffle his fluffy hair and kiss him all over, so I made a ‘Ugh’ sound and squeezed my eyes shut. Dante’s loud shouts echoed in my ears, preventing me from kissing him.

“Yuri will be the most popular crown prince in the world!”

However, Yuri tilted his head when I couldn’t resist shouting out my bubbling fangirl spirit.

“I only need to be popular with Florin, though?”

“!”

This was the first time I’d been left speechless by an answer.

‘I like it so much. I like it, but… I can’t ask him to only be popular with me here. I definitely can’t.’

Isn’t it a universal loss if only I get to see this cuteness?

Besides, Yuri deserves to be loved by everyone.

I thought about how to explain it well and told him step by step.

“So, I mean the people will like you a lot. How could they not like you? Yuri will definitely be the most beloved emperor of all time.”

Originally, appearance has a huge impact on likability.

But if a well-dressed, handsome prince is this adorable, the people’s affection will explode.

I could guarantee that from the moment Yuri officially appeared, photo books, small picture cards, life-size standees, and small dolls wearing lamb wool hats would be secretly sold.

No, I might even sell them myself.

‘If Ian and Dante are next to Yuri… a visual feast!!!’

I’m so happy!

Imagining it, I covered my nose and bowed my head.

“Does Florin want me to be popular with other people?”

Yuri, who had already jumped up next to me, leaned toward me and asked.

I was mesmerized by Yuri’s purple eyes and nodded my head without realizing it.

“Of course. I want everyone to like you.”

“Hmph, I see….”

Yuri feels like he’s not someone I can touch.

‘I’ve never been obsessed with an idol or actor in my life… Is this what they call a fangirl accident?’

I know what it’s like to be hit hard by someone’s charm.

I want to protect him and protect his pure appearance as it is.

If I protect him well and raise him so that he doesn’t get tainted by bad things, won’t he become a different adult from the original?

“I’ll do that if Noona wants it.”

At that time, Yuri looked at me and smiled, curving his eyes.

Rather than a wish to ‘become,’ the definitive expression of ‘I will do it’ reveals arrogance. It was a tone that implied confidence that everything would be achieved if he just wished for it.

If someone else had answered like that, I would have thought, ‘Oh, whatever…,’ but I just nodded at Yuri. His overflowing charm and cuteness are an invincible justification!

‘Looking at Yuri for a long time is very harmful to the heart.’

I clutched my chest, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down. Then I turned to Yuri and smiled brightly.

“But Yuri.”

“Yes, Noona. What is it?”

“Yuri is a prince and has a higher status than me, but it’s a little strange that you’re using honorifics with me.”

“Is it against etiquette?”

“Uh-huh.”

In fact, Yuri hadn’t done anything according to etiquette from his first appearance until now.

Of course, I should use honorifics with Yuri, and Yuri should speak informally. It’s also absurd for him to call me ‘Noona’ [older sister, a term of endearment used by younger males to address older females] so casually….

Being in the swimming pool alone like this without attendants was enough to make etiquette teachers across the country grab their necks.

“So… I think I should call you ‘Your Highness’ instead of your name. Would that be okay?”

Since it was right after he came out of the tank, I could overlook his behavior at the inauguration as a mistake.

Inside this airship and in the Principality of Arcalik, it doesn’t matter what we call each other or how we get along, but once we return to the ground, Yuri will be subjected to all sorts of gazes.

I didn’t want Yuri to be told that he ‘didn’t learn any etiquette.’

“I don’t like it. I like my name.”

But Yuri was not easy to deal with.

Seeing him puff up his cheeks and sulk, I almost said, ‘Yuri, do whatever you want!’ but I bit my tongue and barely held back.

“People will gossip.”

“Won’t they?”

“…Won’t they?”

“Yeah. Who would say anything when I want to do that, Noona.”

His slender eyes were seductive.

I was mesmerized by Yuri for a while before I suddenly came to my senses.

‘Is the imperial palace etiquette more lenient than I thought…?’

That can’t be. Yuri probably just doesn’t know much yet, right?

“And Noona.”

But before I could continue thinking, Yuri leaned his head against me.

“I want everyone to know that I can’t live without Noona.”

“……!”

“That way, everyone will behave properly.”

“Huh? What does that mean….”

Of course, it’s true that I was looking everywhere for a way to save Yuri, but there’s no way Yuri can’t live without me.

I felt good but also ambiguous, and my cheeks flushed slightly.

“Juuust… I like Noona a lot! So I’m going to call you Noona. Don’t worry, no one will say anything. Even the Emperor said it was okay earlier!”

When did His Majesty say it was okay?

I only remember Yuri notifying him….

I realized that Yuri had no intention of backing down on this issue and simply gave up arguing.

‘I don’t know if this is okay.’

I like that Yuri keeps calling me ‘Noona’ because it feels like I have a younger brother who follows me a lot.

But at the same time, I also felt a responsibility to help Yuri grow up in the right way.

‘Well, what he’s saying makes sense. In terms of status alone, the prince is above all the nobles… Who would stop such a prince from doing what he wants?’

Ending my thoughts, I got up from my seat and brought a towel to dry Yuri’s hair.

Yuri smiled like a flower and stayed still, but it seemed like he had to change his clothes because they were all wet. I don’t know what the temperature is like in the country above the clouds, but it probably isn’t warm.

“Shall we change our clothes and look around other places?”

“Yeah!”

I heard it takes at least 25 hours to get from the Magic Empire to the Principality of Arcalik.

There was still a long time before we arrived.

* * *

After exploring the airship with Yuri for a few hours, I returned to the bedroom to rest for a while.

Later, my father told me that dinner was ready, so I came out—

“Cough, cough.”

“Yuri? Are you okay?”

Was swimming for a while too much?

Yuri, who had just come out and sat at the table, coughed.

“I’m okay… Cough. I guess I’m just tired.”

His face was pale!

Ian and Dante were very healthy, so I never had to worry about their health. But Yuri….

That’s when it happened.

“You’re doing all sorts of things, son.”

“What… Cough. Cough!”

“Huh.”

His Majesty the Emperor raised his eyebrows as he looked at Yuri.

I was about to get hurt by his cold tone, which seemed to be scolding rather than worrying.

“Um, Father. Can I use divine power?”

But I have divine power.

I immediately grabbed my father’s sleeve and asked.

First of all, you must not do anything that is equivalent to medical treatment to the imperial family without permission. That’s why I asked for permission first.

“Well… What does Your Majesty think?”

But permission was not immediately granted.

My father, who was holding a dark red wine glass, smiled and looked at His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty the Emperor, who had already leaned his body crookedly, scanned Yuri up and down and clicked his tongue.

“You’re desperate to receive concern. I’ll let you receive as much concern as you want.”

“That’s…!”

There’s no such thing!

I was about to protest loudly, but I realized that the other person was the Emperor, no matter what, and shut my mouth.

“I’m okay… I’m not really sick. I’ve never been outside the tank, so… I guess I couldn’t adapt.”

Yuri, who had a cup of cold water on his cheek, shook his head slightly, grabbing my sleeve.

I was about to cry because Yuri was so kind, so I put my hand on Yuri’s forehead.

“You have a high fever. Your forehead is hot.”

I deliberately emphasized it and glanced at the Emperor. I thought he would tell me to heal him with divine power or magic if I did this.

However, His Majesty the Emperor cut it off coldly as if he didn’t feel sorry for Yuri.

“Leave him alone. There’s nothing to do.”

…That’s too much.

I didn’t say it out loud, but I was shocked by the Emperor’s attitude.

‘Father has never done that to me. Yuri is even his son, not even his son-in-law or daughter-in-law.’

But in the meantime, Yuri was so kind and kept saying he was okay.

“Hwang-ui [likely a royal physician] said so. He said this might happen. But it’s just a process of adapting to the outside world, so… I’ll be fine if I bear with it a little.”

“Yuri….”

I didn’t know Yuri was this weak.

I lost my appetite and thought about what I could do for Yuri.

‘Should I secretly go to Yuri’s room when he’s sleeping?’

Then I can secretly use divine power. That seems to be the best way for now.

Of course, that would be disobeying the imperial order, but—

‘How can His Majesty the Emperor just tilt his wine glass so heartlessly when his son is in so much pain right in front of him?!’

The two adults seemed to have lost interest in Yuri and were talking about other topics. Yuri was just staring blankly with a red face.

In the end, I pressed my lips to Yuri’s ear and whispered.

“I’ll come find you tonight. I can make you better.”

And the next moment. Yuri, who was shivering slightly as if he had a chill, slammed his head on the table.
